I believe the benefits far out weigh the downsides, and some of them climb better than hardtails too.........


You can set the platform type shocks up really well now. Manitou Swinger Airs and Fox pro pedal series do virtually eliminate bob but are still active when you hit bumps. I'd rather climb a technical trail on a FS bike than a hardtail, the tyre stays hooked to the trail not slipping and spinning.
